This past weekend, the Digital Communications Conference (DCC) hosted by Tuscon Amateur Packet Radio (TAPR) was held in the Chicago Area. It was a very interesting experience. I was able to attend Friday and Saturday's events, and listen to the 16 presentations by various people around the US, Great Britain, and Hungary. As a student going in with no previous knowledge of what packet radio is or how it works, some of the information was a little deeper of a level than I understood, but I also did learn quite a bit from the presentations. The demonstration room was filled with interesting prototypes and kits from successful experiments of fellow hams. It was very interesting to talk with other hams about their ideas, and also to tell them about SatNOGS. Networking is always important; you never know where you might find internship or job opportunities ;)
